I feel you pain even though I lost Chuck several years ago. I have had dreams of his soft body diving down my shirt. We were truly blessed to have these little angels in our lives. Know they are all together waiting for us over the Rainbow Bridge.

H..Also , do I send a donation now since December is close and will that allow me to read or get into other posts for answers or general information. I look forward to learning more about my flyers, that I love dearly! Thank you Lynn Lynn, no need for a donation as we no longer offer memberships. Y...

Hello, again! What do you do when you have to go on vacation, or on a trip? Is it okay to have someone who has experience with a flyer come in every other day? We will be gone on a trip for 2 weeks and don't know what to do. :n00b:. What kind of food would you recommend leaving? Our cage is a huge ...

I am curious about Joey milk. Milk for sugar gliders I think. Ive had a few people ask me if they could use it to feed their flyers. I always say I am unsure and I still suggest to them the usual formulas. Does any one know anything about joey milk? I know they are marsupials but I dont know if req...

Hello, I was wondering if I should get my squirrel a companion to keep her entertained. I dont get to play with her alot at night and we dont switch out her toys much! Caylee just know that the second will bond closer to the first than to you. Also they may or may not get along. See: http://nfsa.us...

... Another healthy treat for your flyer is to add a few drops of Organic Apple cider vinegar to fresh water, at it's water change.. and then fresh water the next water change. Apple Cider Vinegar helps strengthen immunity and the delicate bone structure of the flyers, which can be apt to some bone...

Hi I have 2 flyers females and they have lived in separate cages side by side for about 5 yrs we would like to combine them into one to be pals, is this possible and if so what’s the best plan of action Let one flyer out while the other is caged and see what happens. If there is no attacking let th...

.. wondering if it is food related as my husband gave them a couple salted cashews and then they were acting strange, like screaming and rolling around peeing themselves and pooping Cashews are usually salted. Excess salt can lead to salt toxicity, which causes vomiting, weakness, diarrhea, muscle ...

My fiancé should ignore him? Wouldn’t that distance her more? Or will that bring squirrel to her? They can't stand being ignored and unless he's going to be a One-HOF flyer, he'll try to get her attention. This should be done when you are not around to distract him. :twisted: Also. How long do you ...

.. Kent is probably 1.5 years ... He’s also been nipping at me more often which we’ve already gone thru and he’s knows not to do. This may be hormonal and related to puberty .. I’m thinking of getting a small water spray bottle because voice commands don’t get him to stop. This is a good idea. Also...

Time will tell. Once they reach puberty (and it varies greatly) they will be scrotal (Puffs show) some of the time and non-scrotal most of the time. Just don't pull at any cotton balls you might thing are stuck to him. :twisted: http://nfsa.us/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7061&p=60760&hilit=puff...

I've known about southern flying squirrels for a while now. I have been thinking more seriously about this, but to be honest I'm still a :n00b: 1. There's this whole trend of exotic pocket pets, where people are adopting animals that are clearly not suited for life with a human, and neither the pet...

Your experience with rodents is good. I left woodpecker seeds blocks in my cage as a go to whenever. If he likes rodent food .. great. Lots of flyers won't eat prepared foods unless started on them as pups .. ie Monkey Biscuits. Just remember to try things once refused as they can love it one day a...

.... A part of the problem is he has little interest in the high protein Henry's block, supposedly better for flyers; This is a commercial product like any other marketed to flyers. A varied diet of foods that grow in your area (in the wild & farmed for your section of the country) is the best ...

[/quote]:n00b:Hi, I'm new here. I'm also new to flying squirrels. I've owned sugar gliders, but the two seem to be a bit different. [/quote] First, they are nothing alike in diet and many other ways. Flyers are happy being an only and do not self mutilate like some sugar gliders can. Since they are ...

They can all be fussy eaters ... loving something one day and refusing it the next. You are doing the correct thing with a variety and holding off on fruits (they do have a sweet tooth). Make sure you add dark green veggies for the D2 which they convert to D3. He can only eat what you offer. He mig...

I have a male flyer that I found a male companion for. How long will it take for the two to bond? The male I already have is 6 years and the new addition is about 8 months Not sure they will. The males tend to be solitary and roam a wider range in the wild. You will just have to see how they get al...

I have 2 that I am trying to find homes for. One is a 3 month old boy, who's momma wants him OUT! He has been sleeping by himself in a nest box away from the others and I think she's the driving force behind that. Poor little guy. I also have a litter of 6 week olds if you prefer. Boy I can relate ...
